Detailed Description

This class is the preferred way of loading feed sources.

Usage is very straightforward:

Loader *loader = Loader::create();
connect(loader, SIGNAL(loadingComplete(Loader*, FeedPtr, ErrorCode)),
        this, SLOT(slotLoadingComplete(Loader*, FeedPtr, ErrorCode)));
loader->loadFrom("http://www.blah.org/foobar.rdf");

This creates a Loader object, connects it's loadingComplete() signal to your custom slot and then makes it load the file 'http://www.blah.org/foobar.rdf'. You could've done something like this as well:

// create the Loader, connect it's signal...
loader->loadFrom("/home/myself/some-script.py", new OutputRetriever);

That'd make the Loader use a custom algorithm for retrieving the RSS data; 'OutputRetriever' will make it execute the script '/home/myself/some-script.py' and assume whatever that script prints to stdout is RSS/Azom markup. This is e.g. handy for conversion scripts, which download a HTML file and convert it's contents into RSS markup.

No matter what kind of retrieval algorithm you employ, your 'slotLoadingComplete' method might look like this:

void MyClass::slotLoadingComplete(Loader* loader, FeedPtr feed, ErrorCode status)
{
    // Note that Loader::~Loader() is private, so you cannot delete Loader instances.
    // You don't need to do that anyway since Loader instances delete themselves.
 
    if (status != Syndication::Success)
        return;
 
    QString title = feed->title();
    // do whatever you want with the information.
}

Member Function Documentation

abort()

void Syndication::Loader::abort

(

)

aborts the loading process

Definition at line 83 of file loader.cpp.

create() [1/2]

Loader * Syndication::Loader::create ( )

static

Constructs a Loader instance.

This is pretty much what the default constructor would do, except that it ensures that all Loader instances have been allocated on the heap (this is required so that Loader's can delete themselves safely after they emitted the loadingComplete() signal.).

Returns

A pointer to a new Loader instance.

Definition at line 40 of file loader.cpp.

create() [2/2]

Loader * Syndication::Loader::create ( QObject * object, const char * slot )

static

Convenience method.

Does the same as the above method except that it also does the job of connecting the loadingComplete() signal to the given slot for you.

Parameters

object	A QObject which features the specified slot
slot	Which slot to connect to.

Definition at line 45 of file loader.cpp.

discoveredFeedURL()

QUrl Syndication::Loader::discoveredFeedURL

(

)

const

returns the URL of a feed discovered in the feed source

Definition at line 95 of file loader.cpp.

errorCode()

Syndication::ErrorCode Syndication::Loader::errorCode

(

)

const

Retrieves the error code of the last loading process (if any).

Definition at line 78 of file loader.cpp.

loadFrom()

void Syndication::Loader::loadFrom	(	const QUrl &	url,
		DataRetriever *	retriever )

Loads the feed source referenced by the given URL using the specified retrieval algorithm.

Make sure that you connected to the loadingComplete() signal before calling this method so that you're guaranteed to get notified when the loading finished.

Note

A Loader object cannot load from multiple URLs simultaneously; consequently, subsequent calls to loadFrom will be discarded silently, only the first loadFrom request will be executed.

Parameters

url	A URL referencing the input file.
retriever	A subclass of DataRetriever which implements a specialized retrieval behaviour. Note that the ownership of the retriever is transferred to the Loader, i.e. the Loader will delete it when it doesn't need it anymore.

See also

DataRetriever, Loader::loadingComplete()

Definition at line 59 of file loader.cpp.

loadingComplete

void Syndication::Loader::loadingComplete ( Syndication::Loader * loader, Syndication::FeedPtr feed, Syndication::ErrorCode error )

signal

This signal gets emitted when the loading process triggered by calling loadFrom() finished.

Parameters

loader	A pointer pointing to the loader object which emitted this signal; this is handy in case you connect multiple loaders to a single slot.
feed	In case errortus is Success, this parameter holds the parsed feed. If fetching/parsing failed, feed is NULL.
error	An error code telling whether there were any problems while retrieving or parsing the data.

See also

Feed, ErrorCode

retrieverError()

int Syndication::Loader::retrieverError

(

)

const

the error code returned from the retriever.

Use this if you use your custom retriever implementation and need the specific error, not covered by errorCode().
